Mozartzitat at the International Mozarteum Foundation  | © Tourismus Salzburg Show gallery

Mozartzitat by Sylvie Fleury

The impressive building of the International Mozarteum Foundation in Schwarzstraße got a very special new touch in 2005, when a modern light installation gave the façade a rather fancy new look in the dark.


Modern Art as a present

Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac commissioned Swiss artist Sylvie Fleury to create a light installation on the façade of the foundation’s main building on Schwarzstraße on the occasion of the first Dialoge festival in 2005 as well as Mozart Year 2006. “Ich möchte alles haben, was gut, ächt und schön ist!” (“I wish to have everything that is good, real and beautiful!”), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart writes in a letter to a female friend. 

A unique quotation

The quotation has been replicated in Mozart’s original handwriting. As an artwork, it only achieves full effect after dark when the pink neon tubes tint the building and engage in a richly contrasted interplay with the interior lighting of the same building.
